In the last few years, there is growing interest in the field of simultaneous equation estimation in finance due to the endogeneity problem caused by measurement errors, simultaneity, or omitted variables. This study aims to discuss the endogeneity problem in corporate financing decisions and investigate the interrelationship of financial decision-making such as investment decision, dividend decision, and external financing decision in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) using two-stage least squares (2SLS) and generalized method of moment (GMM) estimation. The Bruech-Pagan test shows that the data has no heteroskedasticity issue and 2SLS is a better approach in the context of this study as compared to the GMM approach, and internal instruments are also sufficiently strong and valid. The three financial decision-making attributes are not jointly determined, and the dividend is influenced by one-sided investment. In the emerging stock market context, external financing and investment are not inter-related and did not affect each other. The question of whether the simultaneous equation estimation can be useful in the context of the emerging stock markets and newly-growing firms remains unanswered. The inclusive evidence shows that the theoretical link in the emerging stock market is difficult to prove like in developed stock markets.

The stock market plays a crucial role in the growth of industry and trade, which eventually affects the economy. This paper studies the determinants of stock market development in Jordan using yearly time-series data (1978-2019). The autoregressive distributed lag approach is applied to examine co-integration, while the vector error correction model is employed to estimate (long-run and short-run) causal relationships. The results show that macroeconomic determinants such as gross domestic product, gross domestic savings, investment rate, credit to the private sector, broadest money supply, stock market liquidity, and inflation rate are important determinants of stock market development. These findings provide vital implications for policymakers in developed and emerging stock markets. First, economic development plays an imperative role in stock market development. Second, developing the banking sector is mandatory because it can significantly promote stock market development. Third, domestic investment is a significant determinant of stock market development, especially in emerging countries. However, it is vital to launch policies that lead to encourage investment and promote stock market development, and this could be done through (1) encouraging competition, (2) improving the institutional framework, and (3) removing trade blocks by establishing a mutual connection between foreign private investment entities and government authorities.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between stock liquidity and skewness risk-tail risk (stock price crash risk) in an emerging market, in which problems on liquidity are more severe than in developed markets. Research design, data, and methodology: Based on the Thai market stock exchange over the period of 2000 to 2019, our sample include 13,462 firm-period observations. We employ a panel regression models regarding to five liquidity measures. These five liquidity measures cover three dimensions of liquidity namely the volume-based, price-based, and transaction cost-based measures for the liquidity-tail risk relationship. Results: We find a positively significant relationship between stock liquidity and tail risk in all cases. The finding here shows that the higher the stock liquidity, the larger the tail risk is. Conclusion: As the prior studies show inconclusive effect of stock liquidity on stock price crash risk, we demonstrate that mixed results found in prior studies are probably driven from the type of liquidity measure. The stock liquidity-tail risk association is present in the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The results remain the same regardless of the definition of tail risk and liquidity factors. An endogeneity issue is addressed by employing the two-stage least squares regression.

The research paper examines the influence of elections on the stock market. The study analyses whether the market reaction would be the same when a party wins and comes to power for the second consecutive time. The study employs Market Model Event study methodology. The sample period taken for the study is 2014 to 2019. A sample of 31 companies listed in Bombay Stock Exchange is selected at random for the purpose of the study. For the elections held in 2014, an event window of 82 days was taken with 39 days prior to the event and 42 days post event. The event (t0) being the declaration of the election results. For the elections held in 2019 an event window of 83 days was taken with 41 days prior to the event and 41 days post event. The results indicate that the market reacts positively with significantly positive Average Abnormal Returns. The findings of the study reveal that the impact on the market is not the same between any two elections even when the same party comes to power for the second time. The semi-strong form of efficient market hypothesis holds true in the context of emerging markets like India.

The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the volatility spillovers from global economic policy uncertainty and macroeconomic factors to the Islamic stock market returns. The study focuses on the Islamic stock indices of emerging economies including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey. The Macroeconomic factors are industrial production, consumer price index, exchange rate. EGARCH model is employed for investigation of volatility spillovers. The results show that the global economic policy uncertainty has a significant spillover effect only on the returns of Turkish Islamic stock index. Similarly, the shocks in macroeconomic factors have little influence on the volatility of Islamic indices returns. The volatility of Indonesian and the Turkish Islamic stock indices returns is not influenced from the fluctuations in macroeconomic factors. However, there is significant volatility spillover only from industrial production to the returns of Malaysian Islamic index. The results suggest that the Islamic stock markets are less likely to influence from the global economic policies and macroeconomic factors. The stability of Islamic stocks provide opportunity for diversification of portfolios, particularly in stressed market conditions. The major price factors of Islamic markets could be firms' specific factors or investors' behaviors. The findings are helpful for policy makers and investors in formulating policies and portfolios.

고빈도 자료를 이용하여 한국과 중국에서 주가지수선물시장이 개설된 이후 현물 시장과의 동적관련성에 어떠한 특징적 차이점이 있는지에 대해 분석하였다. KOSPI 200의 경우 시차변수를 이용한 다중회귀분석에서 주가지수선물가격이 현물가격을 약 15분 정도 선행하는 것으로 나타나 주가지수선물시장이 현물시장에 대해 가격발견기능을 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. EGARCH 모형을 이용한 수익률 변동성의 선-후행관계 분석의 경우 강하지는 않지만 주가지수선물가격의 변동성이 현물가격의 변동성에 선행하는 것으로 나타났다. 한국의 경우 주가지수선물시장이 개설된 초기단계에서부터 다른 선진국의 경우와 비슷하게 선물시장과 현물시장 간에는 가격 및 가격변동성의 동적관련성이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. CSI 300의 경우 한국과는 다른 특징적 차이를 보여주고 있다. 우선 현물시장의 가격이 주가지수선물시장의 가격에 선행하는 것으로 나타났다. 그 이유는 국내의 개인투자자와 외국인 투자자들이 주가지수선물거래에 참여하는 것이 엄격히 제한됨으로써 선물시장으로 유입되는 정보가 상대적으로 늦게 가격에 반영되어 선물시장의 가격발견기능을 약화시킨 결과로 판단된다. 변동성의 경우 현물시장과 주가지수선물시장 간에는 양방향의 상호의존성이 나타나고 있어 어느 한 시장의 일방적인 선행효과는 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 정리하면, 중국의 주가지수선물시장은 투자자들의 시장참여에 대한 여러 가지 제약으로 인해 충분한 정보전달 기능을 수행하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - This study investigates whether a listing effect exists in cross-border M&As and whether the effect can be attributed to the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate in the target firm's home country. We apply a joint variable analysis using M&A announcement data from the Korea Exchange (KRX), Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) from 2004 to 2013. We also conduct an event study using the measure of the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate (based on IMF statistics) in 55 target countries. Design/methodology - We measure the abnormal return (AR) using the market-adjusted model. We test the significance of the AR and the cumulative abnormal return (CAR) using a one-sample t-test. We examine the characteristics of the CARs depending on whether the target company is listed by applying a difference analysis using CAR as a test variable. In addition, we set CAR (-5, +5) as a dependent variable to identify the cause of the listing effect, and test both the financial characteristic variables of the acquirer and the collective characteristic variables of the merger as independent variables in the multiple regression analysis. Findings - First, we find the listing effect of cross-border M&As in the KRX, SSE, and TWSE, which represent the capital markets in Korea, China, and Taiwan, respectively. This listing effect persists during the global financial crisis and has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring shareholders, especially when the target countries are emerging markets. Second, greater uncertainty regarding the target countries' economic growth in cross-border M&As has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring firms' shareholders. Third, our empirical analysis demonstrates that the listing effect is attributable to the fact that firms listed in a target country with greater uncertainty of economic growth are more directly and greatly exposed to uncertain capital markets through stock markets, than are unlisted firms. Originality/value - This study is significant in that it presents a new strategic perspective in the study of cross-border M&As by demonstrating empirically that the listing effect is attributable to the uncertainty regarding the economic development of the target firms' home countries.

주식시장에서의 수익률과 변동성 간의 역의 상관관계에 대하여는 이미 1980년대 이후부터 선진국 주식시장을 통해 많이 분석되어 왔다. 이는 예기치 않은 수익률의 음(-) 또는 양(+)의 충격이 변동성에 비대칭적으로 영향을 미치고 특히 음(-)의 충격 국면에서 변동성이 급격히 증가되어 과잉반응이 형성된다는 것으로 귀결된다. 그런데 이렇게 증가된 변동성이 거꾸로 수익률에 지속적인 음(-)의 영향력을 나타낸다고 하는 변동성 반응가설(Volatility Feedback Hypothesis)에 대하여는 아직까지 학계에서 일치된 검정결과를 보이지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이제까지 총체적인 연구가 되지 못하였던 14개 신흥국 주식시장을 대상으로 이러한 변동성반응가설 즉, 변동성의 수익률에 대한 지속적인 음(-)의 영향력 효과가 발견되는지에 대하여 세계공통의 위험요인(Global Risk Factors)과 개별국가 고유의 위험요인(Country-specific Risk Factors)으로 설명변수를 구분한 GJR-GARCH in Mean 모형을 사용하여 심층적인 검정을 시도하였다. 그 결과 신흥국 주식시장에서는 개별국가 고유의 위험요인보다는 세계공통의 위험요인이 보다 중요한 체계적인 설명요인으로 작용한다는 것이 입증되었고 나아가 이러한 위험요인들을 통제한 이후의 시변적 변동성도 수익률에 지속적으로 음(-)의 영향력을 미친다는 변동성 반응가설이 대상 14개국 중 12개국에서 지지되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 즉, 신흥주식시장의 수익률 하락충격에서 형성된 변동성 증가는 투자자들의 위험 프리미엄 증가로 연결되고 이후 지속적인 수익률 하락압력으로 작용한다는 것이 입증되었다.

Purpose: This study examines the market segmentation and strategy of PT INKA, a rolling stock manufacturer in Indonesia. Research design, data and methodology: The study used the MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision Making) method specifically the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). The AHP method was applied to identify the target market. This method or approach considers the market attractiveness and competitive strength criteria with quantified parameters. Results: a) Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, New Zealand, and India emerge as the top five target markets; b) There is justification for rolling stock manufacturers to allocate their resources in winning the market share. Conclusion: The main challenge confronting the rolling stock manufacturer is limited resources to acquire a particular market share despite abundant opportunities in this sector. Despite the mastery of technology and long experience in the industry, selecting a target market with multiple criteria could be difficult for an emerging rolling stock manufacturer in South East Asia.

From several socioeconomic perspectives, the present health crisis can be connected to the 2008 financial and economic catastrophe. Governments worldwide are working hard to keep the markets in check, as evidence suggests that the health crisis may soon become an economic crisis. This paper aims to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on the selected stock market. Using a panel of daily COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths and the stock market from 22 developing countries, we exploit an oil price as a shock to the stock market and examine the effect of COVID-19 on the slowdown of the stock market. We find a negative and significant impact of COVID-19 on the stock market in the first stage till April. However, there is no net influence on the stock market downturn when we extend the period. However, further study suggests that the outbreak's negative influence on the selected stock market has diminished and has begun to decline as of mid-April. As a result of the COVID-19 effect on the chosen stock, our findings imply that the government in the chosen market should consider a regulatory mechanism to reduce the stock market slowdown induced by the pandemic COVID-19.
